Today, the couple expressed gratitude for the decision.

“We’re pleased that the Telegraph will recognize our marriage alongside heterosexual marriages, and we hope the paper will take the next step and enact a permanent policy ensuring that all future same-sex wedding announcements will be published,” they said in a statement.

“Although these weddings may not be recognized by the state of Georgia, six states and Washington, DC, already do recognize them, and we’re making strides for equality every day. A newspaper’s role is not to enforce outdated laws or promote inequality, but to report the facts — and the fact is that is that our union will be real and valid to us, just like the unions of thousands of other same-sex couples around the country.”
